Obedience

Anna was so excited to go play in the snow this morning. After she was all bundled up, we headed out the door.

Her favorite thing to do in the snow is to knock it off from anything she sees…

which is fun—with gloves on.

I told her not to take off her gloves, and I was watching to make sure she obeyed, but someone called me in just for a moment and when I got back outside…

No more gloves…and no more laughs.

 She tried to put her hands in her pockets but they were filled with the snow she’d been sweeping off the picnic table. She started to cry.

I think we’ve all been in a similar situation before, except our Father God was the one telling us to “Keep the gloves on”.

And what did we learn from that?

So simple, yet so fundamental, Obey.

     Even when you don’t understand.

         Even when you feel it’s not necessary.

  

He wants to  take care of you-let Him!
